We live in a world that is rife with criticism and, unfortunately, this has a vast impact upon our wellbeing, with self-criticism leading to anxiety, guilt, sadness, shame, and hopelessness. This naturally makes parenting feel even harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, applying self-compassion can make you more emotionally resilient, have lower stress levels, and healthier relationships. Being more compassionate gives you a greater sense of perceived personal control within your life, and these skills are proven to be passed on to children too—with better life outcomes for those who are brought up to receive compassion and be compassionate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will introduce compassion to your life as a person, a parent, and in your approach to your child. Hopefully, in the future, this will mean your child will adopt this way of relating to themselves and to others too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsing This Workbook, Readers Will Learn About:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManaging the systems that drive us, cause us to react to threats, or soothe us.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeveloping a compassionate mind for yourself, and encouraging that in your children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePutting compassionate skills in action for specific problems like eating, sleeping, and behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with interactive exercises and practical skills, \u003ci\u003eThe Compassionate Parenting Workbook\u003c\/i\u003e will guide you in your journey to be a more compassionate parent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Compassionate Mind Approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-help books in this series are based on compassion-focused therapy (CFT, developed by series editor Paul Gilbert). This brings together an understanding of how our mind can cause us difficulties but also provides us with a powerful solution in the shape of mindfulness and compassion. It teaches ways to stimulate the part of the brain connected with kindness, warmth, compassion, and safeness, and to calm the part that makes us feel anxious, angry, sad, or depressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341230588140,"sku":"9781472149749","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3635013482712.jpg?v=1772187371","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-compassionate-parenting-workbook-by-dr-jennifer-swanston-9781472149749","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
